Health and Safety Law 2024

Places where explosive atmospheres may occur must be classified as hazardous or non-hazardous (Regulation 7). Hazardous places must be classified into zones based on the frequency and duration of an “explosive atmosphere”. The regulations stipulate mandatory requirements for all equipment and protective systems for use in hazardous places. Hazardous places must be marked with signs at their points of entry.
